Being  Together 


You  can  count  on 
a  helping  hand  from 
a  friend.  Math 
problems  can  give 
you  such  a  headach. 

Friends  gather 
around  to  take  that 
quick  group  shot, 
they'll  always 
cherish. 

Two  friends  catch 
a  breather  on  the 
steps  of  Tillet  in

LIFELONG 


The  best  place 
to  rest  and  get 
a  bite  to  eat  is 
at  the  Student 
Center. 


Since  your  freshman  year  lasting 
friendships  have  emerged  and 
become  stronger.  You  have  spent 
almost  all  your  time  with  these 
friends  and  so  they  have  become  your 
extended  family.  Through  the  good 
times  and  bad  times,  they  were 
sharing  in  every  moment.  Your 
friends  were  the  ones  that  helped 
alleviate  some  of  that  inevitable 
stress  in  your  life.  They  always  had  a 
sholder  to  cry  on  or  a  joke  to  lighten 
your  day.  Think  of  all  the  times  you 
went  out  to  eat,  getting  away  from 
Tillett  food,  or  all  the  movies  you've 
seen  together,  or  just  staying  up  till 
four  o'clock  talking.     All  these  good 
times  will  create  lasting  memories 
that  you  will  cherish  forever. 

These  friendships  that  you  have 
created  throughout  the  years  will 
endure  for  a  lifetime.  Even  if  you 
don't  get  to  spend  as  much  time  as 
you  have  with  your  friends,  they  will 
always  be  remembered  as  special  and 
endearing.  The  bonds  that  have 
emerged  are  strong  enough  to 
withstand  space  and  time,  because  of 
all  the  memories  you  have  created.

Studying  Hard 


The  Targum  is 
the  best  way  to  stay 
informed  about  the 
Rutgers  community.

A  cheerful  way  to 
spend  the 

afternoon,  is  to  read

The  open  book 
statue  outside 
of  the  Student 
Center  depicts 
the  essence  of 
knowledge. 


We  are  all  here  at  college  for  a 
common  purpose  and  no,  it  isn't  to 
party!  This  goal  is  the  reason  to 
absorb  knowledge.  The  more 
knowledge  you  get  and  retain,  the 
better  off  you  will  be.  Knowledge 
encompasses  not  only  the  facts  you 
get  from  books,  but  also  the 
experiences  you  live  through.  With 
four  or  more  years  of  college  behind 
you,  these  experiences  are  vast  and 
great.  Plus,  not  to  mention  all  that 
you  have  learned  from  those  books, 
classes  and  the  professors.  Through 
the  clubs  and  organizations  you  have 
belonged  to,  you  learned  leadership 
as  well  as  compromising. 

Knowledge  is  the  essence  of  power 
and  by  spending  time  at  Livingston 
you  will  be  more  empowered  for  your 
future.  You  hold  the  key  to  unlock 
the  doors  in  front  of  you  in  your 
hand.  All  you  need  to  do  is  apply 
what  Rutgers  University  has  taught 
you.  With  this  knowledge  you  are 
able  to  do  anything.  This  is  what 
knowledge  means  and  to  have  it 
means  the  world  is  yours.

Rutgers  University  has  a  countless 
number  of  organizations  in  which  a 
student  can  belong  to.  Plus  if  you 
can't  find  a  club  you  like,  then 
students  can  start  one.  We  can't  forget 
the  number  of  fraternities  and 
sororities  that  a  person  can  join. 

Looking  back  at  the  number  of 
organizations  you  joined  is  a  direct 
reflection  of  your  personality.  If  you 
were  interested  in  journalism,  you 
joined  the  Targum.  If  you  adored  to 
sing,  you  joined  Queen's  Chorale  or 
the  Glee  Club.  And  in  these  groups, 
you  found  your  own  identity,  your 
own  nitch  in  a  vast  university.  You 
spent  countless  number  of  hours 
working  on  projects,  performances  or 
even  putting  together  the  yearbook. 
The  people  in  these  organizations 
became  your  friends  and  sometimes 
your  worst  critics.  Participating  in 
these  activites  shaped  your  identity. 
While  classes  and  studying  were 
important  so  were  all  the 
organizations  you  joined. 


Being  a  part 
of  the  Rutgers 
band  is  a 
major  way 
of  being 
involved.

The  central  component  of 
Livingston  College  is  diversity.  In  fact 
the  motto  of  Livingston  is  "Strength 
Through  Diversity."  It  prides  itself  on 
the  multicultural  student  population. 
You  are  able  to  get  to  know  and 
become  friends  with  people  from 
different  backgrounds  plus  you  could 
join  activities  that  involved  your  own 
ethnic  background.  This  is  one  of  the 
advantages  that  you  can  only  find  at  a 
university  this  size. 

When  you  first  arrive  here,  you 
may  have  become  fasinated  and 
curious  about  the  traditions  of  other 
cultures.  With  this  interest  you  found 
understanding  and  knowledge  of 
other  races  and  cultures.  This  brings 
each  person  closer  to  the  other.  Even 
though  we  are  all  of  different 
heritages,  we  all  share  common  goals 
of  success  for  the  future.  And  with 
our  different  backgrounds  we  bring 
new  and  exciting  dimensions  to  the 
future.  This  is  the  cornerstone  of 
Livingston  College's  philosophy.

G  0  N  E-  I  N- A 


The  years  at  Livingston  go  by  faster 
than  you  can  comprehend.  It  seems 
like  only  yesterday  we  were  starting 
our  first  year  here,  only  scared 
nervous  freshmen  who  were 
uncertain  of  what  they  wanted. 
Remember  being  asked,  "What's  your 
major?"  only  to  reply  timidly 
"Undecided  yet."  Those  days  are 
gone,  our  majors  have  been  picked, 
the  routes  for  the  right  job  have  been 
plotted  and  hopefully  we  are  on  our 
way  to  an  exciting  career. 

We  will  always  have  our  fond 
memories  of  hanging  out  with  our 
friends,  partying  and  watching 
movies.  Though  all  the  material  we 
covered  in  all  those  classes  we  took 
will  be  hard  to  recall,  we  will  always 
remember  the  professors  that  really 
made  it  fun.  The  thought  of  waiting 
for  the  buses  won't  seem  like  such  an 
ordeal  now.  In  fact,  no  doubt 
everyone  has  a  halarious  bus  story  to 
tell.  We  shared  triumphs  and  failures 
and  even  though  we  are  now  moving 
on  its  hard  to  except  that  its  all  but  a 
memory.

ALL 
BUT  A 
MEMORY 


Remember  late  night  studying 
in  the  lounge?  How  about  late 
nights  in  general?  It  was  times 
such  as  those  nights  that  make 
great  memories.  This  is  just  one 
facet  of  everything  our  college 
experience  provided  us.  From 
floor  functions  freshman  year  to 
bar 
hop- 
ping 
senior 
year, 
college 
is  all 
but  a 
memo- 
ry in 
student 
life! 

Col- 
lege 
taught 
you  so 
many 

things  and  most  of  what  was 
learned  did  not  come  from  the 
classroom.  The  most  valuable 
learning  experiences  came  from 
socializing  and  living  with  other 
people.  Housing  placed  you  with 
a  compete  stranger  to  battle  the 
first  year  with.  A  small  percent  of 


you  got  along  well  with  your  first 
roommate.  The  rest  of  us  had  our 
arguments  and  lived  with  some- 
one else  next  year.  Through 
those  challenging  first  semesters 
we  learned  how  to  cope  with 
each  other's  differences.  In  the 
process  we  managed  to  learn  a 

little 
about 
ourselves. 

Rutgers 
has  given 
us  a  small 
preview 
of  what 
taking 
care  of 
yourself 
was  all 
about. 
The  bus 
system 
taught  us 
about  the 
public  transportation  system.  We 
all  know  how  to  seperate  our 
laundry  and  how  to  cook  our  own 
food.  In  those  four  years  away 
from  home  we  have  become 
adults  and  ready  to  take  on  the 
future. 


Eating  on 
the  run  is 
one  way 
for  a  busy 
student 
can  kill  her 
appetite.

Taking  a  load  off  your  feet 
on  a  beautiful  sunny  day  is  a 
great  way  to  spend  an  af- 
ternoon. 


This  student  studies  in  the

purpose  in  the  Student

M^^y^atiMiP:  earning  from  our  experiences  and 
W^^BWifM  about  ourselves 
is  accomplished  during  the  im- 
portant years  at  college.  Living- 
ston College  is  special  because  it 
helps  us  in  doing  this.  Living- 
ston's atmosphere  is  full  of  di- 
versity and  it  provides  cultural 
events  so  that  we  can  be  aware 
of  things.  There  is  always  some- 
thing new  to  see.  Along  with  its 
diversity,  this  campus  promotes 
a  sense  of  togtherness.  In  fact  if 
you  look  outside  on  a  sunny  day, 
you  can  see  tons  of  students  hanging  out  at  Liv- 
ingston's Circle. 

Since  Tillet  is  open  all  day,  you  can  go  eat  at  any 
time,  without  worrying  about  going  to  class  late  or 
leaving  class  early,  of  course  that's  if  you  worry! 


Livingston  also  provides  us  with  Pizza  Hut,  a  new 
addition  to  the  student  center 
this  year.  And  after  eating  too 
much  pizza,  we  can  always  go  to 
the  Livingston  Recreation  Cent- 
er to  exercise. 

Living  on  this  campus  pro- 
vides you  with  the  opportunity 
of  forming  a  family  with  those 
on  your  floor.  Sharing  your  liv- 
ing space  and  thus  your  lives, 
can  create  a  lasting  bond  with 
others.  If  you  live  in  the  Quads, 
your  house  as  well  as  your  floor 
forms  a  bond.  By  living  in  the  Lynton  Towers,  you 
can't  help  meeting  new  people  while  you  mi- 
crowave that  TV  dinner.  Plus  we  can't  forget  that 
the  Towers  offer  the  best  view  of  the  sunrise!  All 
this  is  what  makes  Livingston  a  community.

an  we  say  anything  that  hasn't 
been  said  about  College  Ave?  To 

the  other  cam-  

puses- 
Livingston,  Busch,  Douglass,  & 
Cook-  College  Ave  is  the  heart. 
With  its  city  like  atmosphere,  it  is 
where  you  find  things  that  are 
most  needed  at  almost  any  time.  If 
one  night  you  had  nothing  to  do, 
you  could  go  to  College  Ave  be- 
cause there  are  always  some  fra- 
ternity parties  going  on.  For  those 
who  are  not  of  age,  like  we  were 
once,  this  is  the  way  to  go.  The  bars 
are  open  every  night,  and  at  times  some  of  us  become 
regulars.  Not  only  could  you  occupy  your  time  in  this 
way,  there  are  events  given  by  organizations.  Movies 
at  the  Rutgers  Student  Center,  cultural  events,  etc  are 
enjoyable  and  entertaining. 
After  you  have  fun  at  any  special  gathering,  the 


night  is  not  over.  That's  right,  this  is  the  time  when 
your  stomach  starts  to  growl.  Where  could  you  go? 

Why  the  Grease  trucks  are  perfect! 
The  Grease  Trucks  provides  you 
with  anything  from  a  hot  gyro  to  a 
Fatcat.  It  is  also  the  place  to  meet 
up  with  your  friends  before  you 
catch  the  "L"  to  your  dorm. 

College  Ave  has  the  famous 
Voorhees  Mall  where  you  can 
catch  a  nice  nap  before  class  or 
study  for  that  big  exam.  Here  is 
where  you  find  some  students 
passing  time  hanging  out  and 
watching  other  students. 
These  are  some  of  the  things  that  make  College 
Avenue  unique.  It  is  located  in  the  middle  of  New 
Brunswick  and  you  can  always  find  something  to  do. 
However,  most  of  us  at  Livingston  are  happy  to  come 
back  to  its  quiet  atmosphere  after  we  are  finished 
socializing  on  College  Ave. 


Students  go  to  the  SAC  on  The  center  of  College  Ave 

College  Ave  to  get  just  about  is  Au  Bon  Pain  where  you 

anything.  can  take  a  break  in  a  friend- 

ly atmosphere.

The  Environmental  and

many  specialized  research 
facilities  at  Cook. 

Cook  has  many  farm  ani-

such  as  these  cows.  Its  in- 
teresting to  see  animals  on  a 
college  campus.  Moo  Moo!

18  Student  Life 


ife  on 

ooking  at  Cook,  you  can  see  that  it 
is  a  campus  that  has  nature  and  all 
its  wonders  as 
its  primary  con- 
cern. Cook  is  indeed  the  agricul- 
tural and  science  college  of  the 
university.  If  you  glance  around 
Cook  campus,  you  can  see  it  is  rich 
in  farmland,  green  pastures  and 
trees.  Taking  a  walk  around  the 
campus  lets  you  enjoy  all  its  nat- 
ural beauty.  You  can't  forget  about 
all  the  adorable  animals  you  can 
find,  like  horses,  sheep  and  cows 
just  to  name  a  few!  In  fact,  each 
student  who  goes  to  Cook  College  is  required  to  take 
care  of  a  baby  animal  for  an  entire  semester.  They  are 
responsible  for  the  feeding  and  grooming  of  the  an- 
imal. Loving  the  animal  is  also  an  essential  part,  but 
that  probably  comes  easy.  With  this  hands  on  ex- 


perience, the  students  can  understand  how  very  im- 
portant it  is  to  be  responsible  for  the  environment  and 
all  who  in  habit  it. 

The  event  that  students  most  as- 
sociate with  Cook  is  Ag  Field  Day. 
This  is  the  annual  celebration  that 
takes  place  in  the  Spring.  During 
the  day  long  event,  there  are  bands 
and  entertainers.  The  students  also 
get  a  chance  to  present  their  an- 
imals in  shows.  The  barns  and  sta- 
bles are  also  open  to  the  public,  so 
you  can  get  a  chance  to  see  what  its 
really  like  to  live  on  a  farm. 
The  biggest  reason  why  so  many 
students  come  to  Ag  Field  Day  is  because  there  is  a 
day  long  party  around  the  Newell  appartments.  Al- 
cohol and  music  attract  thousands  of  students  from 
every  campus.  This  is  always  a  big  success.  Every 
Rutgers  student  must  experience  it  at  least  once. 


A  horse  is  out  enjoying  the 
brisk  air  of  a  wintery  morn-

especially  with  snow  blan-

osing  our  way  on  Douglass  is  some- 
thing we  all  experienced  Freshman 
year.  However 
by  living 
through  that  event,  we  were  able  to 
enjoy  the  beauty  of  this  large  cam- 
pus. Indeed,  Douglass  is  very  sce- 
nic with  its  several  wooded  path- 
ways. Its  a  real  treat  to  see  as  you 
walk  to  your  classes  the  trees  em- 
bracing the  buildings  or  the  little 
brook  bubbling  over  the  rocks  un- 
derneath the  bridge.  Relaxing  by 
Passion  Puddle  between  classes  is 
made  even  more  enjoyable  with 
the  geese  coming  to  say  hello.  In 
fact  Passion  Puddle  is  probably  the 
most  famous  attraction  on  Douglass.  It  is  said  that  if  a 
couple  walks  around  Passion  Puddle  three  times 
counterclockwise,  they  will  get  married. 

Douglass  College  provides  a  curriculum  that  fo- 
cuses on  women's  issues.  This  gives  women  a  chance 
to  understand  what  it  is  to  be  a  woman  in  today's 


society.  These  classes  are,  of  course  open  to  males  too, 
which  gives  men  the  chance  to  understand  how  wom- 
en feel  and  the  ideas  they  have. 
This  will  be  useful  in  their  future 
relationships! 

Most  of  us  on  Livingston  dread 
having  classes  on  Douglass  despite 
its  beauty.  Its  that  40  minute  wait 
for  the  G  bus  that  pops  in  our  head 
when  we  think  of  Douglass.  So  at 
the  beginning  of  the  semester  it 
takes  a  little  getting  used  to,  es- 
pecially if  you  have  that  8:10  class. 
Once  you  get  used  to  that  however, 
its  really  not  so  bad. 

A  perk  to  having  class  on  Doug- 
lass is  the  dining  facilities.  After 
class  you  can  stop  by  and  have  lunch  or  dinner  with 
friends  who  live  on  the  campus.  It  has  probably  the 
best  dining  hall  food  at  Rutgers  University.  Cooper 
has  a  friendly  atmosphere,  that  encourages  you  to 
have  a  nice  leisurely  dinner. 


Coming  from  Hickman  over 
the  convenient  bridge  is  a 
lot  easier  than  dodging  traf- 
fic on  busy  George  Street. 


Passion  Puddle  looks  beau- 
tiful with  the  snow  covering 
it,  but  it  must  be  cold.  Burrr! 
The  geese  are  even  hiding 
somewhere  warm.

e're  all  aware  of  our  clos- 
est neighbor,  Busch.  Its 
just  a 
hop, 

skip,  and  a  jump  away,  although 
sometimes  it  feels  like  forever  try- 
ing to  get  across  busy  Metlars  Lane. 
And  this  year  with  the  change  in 
the  B  bus  route,  it  will  be  even 
longer  getting  to  some  bus  stops, 
since  the  route  has  been  turned 
upside  down.  Busch  Campus  is 
where  the  College  of  Engineering, 
the  Mathematics  Department,  the 
College  of  Pharmacy  and  the  Com- 
puter Science  Department  are  lo- 
cated. So  all  those  pursuing  a  major  in  these  subjects 
are  extremely  familiar  with  the  campus.  However, 
Livingston  students  not  only  have  classes  there,  some 
even  reside  on  Busch.  Nichols  holds  those  students 
who  want  to  live  in  an  apartment  yet  be  close  to  all 


their  classes.  The  apartments  hold  four  students  in 
two  bedrooms.  They  also  have  their  own  livingroom, 
kitchen  and  bathroom.  It  gives  stu- 
dents the  peace  of  an  apartment 
without  any  of  those  dreaded  bills 
and  demanding  landlords. 

The  Sonny  Werblin  Recreation 
Center  is  another  reason  students 
go  to  Busch.  There  you  can  do  a 
number  of  things,  like  play  beach 
volleyball,  racketball,  or  go  swim- 
ming as  well  as  get  a  good  workout. 
This  modern  facility  makes  it  alot 
more  fun  to  workout.  Now  this  is  a 
great  feat!  But  don't  forget  that  ID, 
or  you  can't  get  in,  that  is  of  course 
unless  you  know  someone  who  works  there! 

And  we  can't  forget  that  Busch  is  the  home  to  the 
new  football  stadium.  It  is  a  very  nice  stadium  which 
draws  enormous  crowds  to  enjoy  the  game.  Go  RU! 


The  Busch  Dining  Hall  is 
part  of  the  Student  Center. 
This  is  where  you  can  go  in 
between  classes  to  get  a 
quick  lunch  before  its  off  to 
Geology  class 


Pool  is  just  one  of  the  dis- 
tractions that  the  Busch  stu- 
dent center  offers.  You  can 
also  play  video  games  or  just 
sit  by  the  fireplace.

aking  a  trip  to  the  dining  hall,  or 
just  have  a  class  in  Tillett,  either 
way  everyone  is 
drawn  to  the 
LPO's  as  they  pass  by  them.  You 
know  exactly  what  I  mean.  When 
you  go  to  dinner  with  a  group  of 
friends,  no  one  has  to  say  anything 
about  checking  the  mail.  You  just 
automatically  go  through  the  post 
office  to  get  to  dinner.  You  eagerly 
await  that  one  piece  of  mail  from 
home,  or  from  a  boyfriend  or  girl- 
friend. Each  day  you  check  hoping 
with  anticipation  that  it  has  ar- 
rived. You  approach  your  LPO 
amidst  the  thousands  of  other  mail  boxes.  And  when 
you  get  there,  you  find  nothing  but  an  empty  box

Then  once  in  awhile  you  get  a 
little  card  which  you  know  means 
that  you  have  a  package!  You  hap- 
pily take  it  back  to  your  dorm 
room,  proud  that  you  got  one.  As 
you  go  through  it  and  display  all  its 
contents  to  your  roommate,  you 
know  that  they  are  very  jealous  of 
your  good  fortune.  However,  there 
are  times  that  you  see  a  nice  white 
envelope  in  that  LPO  and  you  rush 
to  open  it,  only  to  find  out  that  it  is 
nothing  but  a  pesky  bill. 
The  Post  Office  is  therefore,  a 
very  central  component  in  a  student's  life.  Most  im-

ones  they  love.  Even  in  this  day  and  age  of  e-mail,  a 
letter  that  arrives  to  your  LPO  is  also  greatly  ap-

eing  able  to  get  around  from  cam- 
pus to  campus  is  a  talent  that  we  all 
develop.  As 
freshmen,  we 
all  learned  how  to  push  and  shove 
to  get  on  a  bus,  or  suffer  the  con- 
sequences. It  was  many  a  time  that 
we  watched  buses  go  by  because 
we  couldn't  get  on,  now  we  know 
exactly  where  to  stand  to  can  get 
on.  Driving  our  cars  down  busy 
Metlars  was  always  a  challenge, 
but  we  figured  out  to  go  through 
the  back  way  instead,  or  leave  an 
extra  20  minutes  early.  These  are 
all  things  we  got  used  to. 

Each  campus  is  always  busy  and  lively  with  people 
walking  or  biking  around,  trying  to  get  from  one  place 
to  another.  From  early  in  the  morning  till  late  at  night, 
the  pathways  of  Livingston  and  the  other  campuses 
are  never  free  from  people.  Sometimes  it  gets  a  bit 


crowded.  If  you  walk  to  class,  you  get  annoyed  at  the 
biker  who  comes  so  close  sometimes  that  you  are 
afraid  they  might  kill  you!  If  you 
bike,  you  think  to  yourself,  why 
don't  these  pedestrians  get  out  of 
my  way.  The  same  is  true  if  you 
drive,  especially  on  College  Ave- 
nue. Students  just  walk  out  into 
the  busy  street,  without  caring  that 
you're  trying  to  drive  on  it.  But  of 
course,  when  you  walk  you  do  the 
same  thing! 

The  buses  are  another  nightmare 
to  deal  with.  The  one  bus  that  you 
are  waiting  for  is  surely  to  be  the 
last  bus  to  get  there,  and  then  you 
still  have  to  get  on.  Its  a  real  treat  to  be  able  to  get  a 
seat  on  a  bus!  You  can  meet  some  pretty  interesting 
people  riding  to  class.  When  you  finally  get  to  your 
class,  probably  late,  you  sometimes  wish  you  hadn't 
even  bothered  going  at  all. 


Busing  it  between  campus-  By  riding  your  bike  to  class, 
es  may  not  be  the  best,  but  you  can  get  exercise  and 
most  times  it  is  the  only  way  fresh  air  on  a  beautiful  sun- 
to  go.  Besides  you  can  catch  ny  day.

there  was  non- 
stop rain  during  the  chilly  day  of 
Homecoming.  Occasionally  the 
rain  came  down  in  torrents,  and 
then  subsided  for  a  little,  but  for 
the  most  part  everything  was  very 
damp.  Although  the  stadium  was  a 
bit  empty,  fans  did  show  up  to 
watch  the  football  team  trek 
through  the  mud  on  the  field.  Most 
of  those  who  came  went  home  ear-

were  afraid  that  the  game  might  be 
cancelled,  but  to  everyone's  pleas- 
ure, it  was  not.  Rutgers  played 
Viginia  Tech  on  a  muddy  field.  Vir- 
ginia Tech  started  off  with  the  lead 
in  the  1st  quarter,  but  then  Rutgers 
caught  up  in  the  second  quarter  to 
make  it  a  7-7  tie.  Hopes  were  high 
that  Rutgers  would  take  take  the

ot  many  people  can  stay  away  from 
the  various  things  that  New  Bruns- 
wick has  to  of- 
fer. It's  the  place 
to  go  to  escape  from  the  daily  drone 
of  studying.  There  are  many  shops 
that  sell  anything  from  used  books 
to  antique  furniture.  Whatever  you 
need  could  be  found  here  in  one 
area  that  is  just  a  stone's  throw 
from  any  campus. 

The  biggest  business  that  draws 
students  to  New  Brunswick  is  the 
various  restaurants  it  has.  One  of 
the  fancier  places  that  is  popular 
with  students  is  Old  Man  Raf- 
ferty's.  However,  it  is  not  in  the  budget  of  most  stu- 
dents to  be  able  to  afford  that  often.  Everyone  enjoys 
the  less  expensive,  but  equally  good  Stuff  Yer  Face 
and  Cluck-U  Chicken.  For  desert  you  might  stop  off  at 
Thomas  Sweet  for  some  tasty  ice  cream  or  to  satisfy 


your  chocolate  craving.  Who  wants  to  ever  go  back  to 
the  dining  hall?! 

The  several  shops  that  are  lo- 
cated here  provide  a  great  oppor- 
tunity to  buy  Rutgers 
paraphenalia.  Stores  like  Steve  and 
Barry's  and  Scarlet  Fever  sell  hats, 
sweatshirts,  jackets  and  anything 
else  you  can  think  of.  There  are 
also  other  clothing  stores  as  well  as 
shops  that  have  CD's,  posters,  can- 
dles, health  food  and  even  hand- 
made rugs.  So  if  you  have  to  buy 
"the  perfect  gift,"  New  Brunswick 
is  the  place  to  go. 
Cultural  events  are  a  central  part 
of  New  Brunswick  life.  The  State  Theater,  George 
Street  Playhouse  and  the  Crossroads  Theater  all  offer 
plays  and  musicals.  Students  who  take  Theater  Ap- 
preciation are  familiar  with  these  theaters  because 
they  have  to  attend  certain  performances. 


The  Espresso  Bar  and  Cafe 
is  a  great  place  to  warm  up 
on  a  cold  winter's  day  with  a 
hot  cappucino. 


Marco's  Pizza  and  cafe  on 
Easton  Ave  is  where  stu- 
dents can  meet  between 
classes  for  lunch.

etting 


oing  to  the  Livingston  Recreation 
Center  is  a  great  way  to  get  in 
shape!  It  has  a 
alot  of  things 
you  can  do  to  achieve  that  desired 
look,  or  just  relieve  some  stress. 
From  playing  basketball  or  volley- 
ball intermurals  to  working  out  in 
the  fitness  center  with  some 
weights,  you  can  always  find  some- 
thing to  keep  busy.  In  the  Spring- 
time there  is  an  option  to  play  in- 
termural  baseball  or  play  tennis 
with  some  friends.  With  plans  to 
expand  the  gym  next  year,  the  Rec- 
reation Center  will  have  even 
more  things  to  offer  students. 

If  there's  something  else  that  strikes  your  fancy,  you 
could  always  go  over  to  one  of  the  gyms  on  another 
campus.  The  Sonny  Werblin  on  Busch  offers  the  op- 
portunity to  go  swimming  in  one  of  its  two  Olympic- 


sized  pools,  play  raquetball,  as  well  as  beach  vol- 
leyball. It  is  the  largest  center  with  state  of  the  art 
equipment.  The  only  drawback  is 
the  large  crowds  that  frequent  it. 
Therefore,  students  perfer  to  go  to 
one  of  the  smaller  gyms  on  their 
own  campus. 

On  a  sunny  day,  whether  it's  in 
the  fall,  winter,  or  spring,  lots  of 
students  like  to  have  fun  by  ex- 
ercising. They  can  be  seen  playing 
frisbee,  jogging  or  playing  tag  foot- 
ball. In  fact,  tag  football  is  very 
popular  when  there's  snow  on  the 
ground.  This  proves  you  don't  have 
to  make  working  out  a  chore. 
It's  an  important  stress  reliever  to  most  students  to 
be  able  to  go  somewhere  to  take  their  mind  off  school. 
There  is  no  better  place  to  do  that  than  at  the  gym, 
where  all  you  can  concentrate  on  is  the  sweat  drip- 
ping down  your  forehead! 


Volleyball  is  a  favorite 
sport  to  play  at  the  Living- 
ston Recreation  Center.  The 
Rec  Center  offers  in- 
termural  volleyball  teams. 


Going  to  the  gym  to  work 
out  is  a  great  way  to  relieve 
stress  and  to  get  your  body 
in  shape.

place  where  you  can  take  a  study 
break  or  a  dining  hall  break  when 
the  thought  of  another  bowl  of  ce-

You  can  order  a  plethora  of  yummy

When  the  Student  Center  closes,

studying  or  partying,  the  Grease 
Trucks  provide  a  perfect  post  mid- 
night snack.  There's  nothing  like  eating  a  greasy  bur-

on't  lie  now,  admit  it  graduates! 
Part  of  each  of  you  in  some  way 
will  miss  Tillett.  Dubbed  "Kill  it" 
or  "Toilet"  by  its  most  avid  of  fans, 
the  dining  halls  were  one  place 
where  students  could  relax  and 
unwind.  Thousands  of  students  ate 
at  those  tables  every  week  during 
your  four  years. 

Tillett  offers  a  wide  range  of 
foods  from  vegeterian  to  cereal  at 
all  times  of  the  day.  There's  always 
something  to  eat,  and  if  you  can't 
find  anything  then  there's  the  ever 
popular  yogurt  machine.  It  also  has  special  theme 
nights,  such  as  Thanksgiving  Dinner,  Christmas  Din- 
ner and  even  Chinese  New  Year.  At  these  times  the 
dining  hall  goes  all  out  with  decorations,  ice  sculp- 
tures, and  even  live  bands. 


Not  only  will  Tillett  be  remembered  for  its  ex- 
quisite cuisine,  but  all  of  the  other  facilities  found 

 1    within  the  same  building.  Susan 

Doyle  remarked,  "Just  stick  a  bed 
in  here  and  we  won't  have  to 
leave."  The  psychology  depart- 
ment is  located  there  as  well  as  the 
Learning  Resource  Center.  Anyone 
up  for  a  little  e-mail?  The  com- 
puter lab  can  be  found  right  in 
there.  Even  the  post  office  can  be 
found  right  in  the  heart  of  Tillett.  It 
is  no  wonder  that  it  is  the  most 
populated  buildings  during  and  in 

between  classes. 

So  now  that  you've  graduated,  consider  visiting 
your  alma  mater.  For  old  times  sake,  grab  a  copy  of  the 
Targum  amd  come  on  up!  Make  sure  you  get  some 
yogurt  before  you  leave. 


It's  always  interesting  to  see 
what  you  end  up  eating  at 
Tillett.  Sometimes  all  you 
want  is  jello  and  cereal. 


When  you  go  to  eat  dinner 
around  4  o'clock  you  miss

«m  ate  what  the  dining  hall  has  to 
offer?  Chicken  steaks  got  you 
down?  Got  class  between  four  and 
seven  ?  Munchies  at  1  am?  Have  no 
fear,  dinner  or  a  late  night  snack  is 
never  more  than  a  phone  call 
away.  Students  can  order  a  wide 
variety  of  foods  from  the  delivery 
food  establishments  located  near 
the  Rutgers  community.  Anything 
ranging  from  pizza  to  Chinese  food, 
submarines  to  pasta  can  be  had  in 
about  "half-hour  to  45  minutes"  by 
picking  up  the  phone  and  ordering 
out. 

Prices  generally  are  very  cheap  and  ordering  makes 
for  a  bonding  experience  among  friends  and  floor- 
mates.  It  can  often  be  heard  through  the  hall,  one 
friend  calling  out  to  the  other,  "do  you  wanna  order?" 
And  then  the  search  begins  for  what  to  order.  Plus  you 
and  your  5  friends  have  to  agree  to  order  from  the 


same  place.  After  all  that  is  decided,  the  only  thing 
that  remains  is  to  wait  patiently  for  your  food,  which 
in  and  of  itself  is  a  very  challenging 
task  when  you  haven't  eaten  all 
day.  The  food  will  never  be  quite 
the  way  Mom  used  to  make  it  and 
it  isn't  always  warm,  but  it  is  a 
very  viable  alternative  to  every- 
day servings  from  the  dining 
hall. 

If  ordering  out  doesn't  seem 
quite  like  what  you  want  you  can 
always  get  to  the  closest  fast  food 
stop.  The  easiest  place  to  go  is  Piz- 
za Hut,  located  in  the  Livingston 
Student  Center,  or  you  can  go  just  a  little  bit  farther  to 
New  Brunswick  and  hit  the  restaurants  there.  Stu- 
dents spend  a  lot  of  money  on  eating  food  other  than 
that  provided  in  the  dining  hall.  Usually  at  the  end  of 
the  week  you  have  several  meals  left  just  because  you 
decided  to  eat  out. 


Pizza  Hut  provides  an  ex- 
cellent opportunity  to  have 
something  other  than  dining 
hall  food.  You  don't  even 
have  to  pay  tax!

he  Changes 


he  weather  plays  a  very  important  role 
I  in  the  lives  of  students.  Everyday  holds 
a  new  challenge  to  get  to  class. 
Some  days  the  sun  is  shining  so 
beautifully  that  you  can't  possibly 
imagine  being  crammed  into  a  dark 
and  dreary  classroom  with  a  hun- 
dred other  students  who  are  wish- 
ing they  were  outside  tanning  in 
the  sun.  Then  there  are  days  that 
the  rain  is  pouring  down  so  hard 
that  there  is  no  way  you  are  going 
to  crawl  out  of  bed  to  wait  40  min- 
utes for  that  bus  to  Douglass.  Next 
those  winter  blues  kick  in  when  its 
blow  zero  outside  and  in  your 
dorm  rooms  the  heater  isn't  work- 
ing properly  again.  The  only  place  that's  nice  and 
warm  is  beneath  the  fifty  covers  on  your  bed.  Ahhh  - 
the  joys  of  changing  weather! 

This  past  year  had  everything  from  draughts  to  a 
record  snowfall.  During  the  month  of  September  we 
were  advised  to  conserve  as  much  water  as  possible 
due  to  the  small  amount  of  rainfall  that  we  had.  Then 


In 


came  the  the  snow.  It  snowed  more  than  any  previous 
year.  When  you  thought  it  was  all  over,  it  started  to 
snow  again.  The  bad  thing  about  it 
was  that  it  barely  ever  snowed  dur- 
ing the  week,  therefore  classes 
were  always  held.  Even  the  people 
who  love  snow  and  winter  got  pret- 
ty tired  of  it  by  the  end  of  February. 
No  one  could  wait  till  Spring  came, 
so  you  could  once  again  walk  to 
class  with  the  sun  beating  down  on 
your  back  and  dreaming  about  ly- 
ing on  a  beach  somewhere. 

During  the  Spring  you  can  see 
people  relaxing  on  the  lawn  or 
playing  frisbee  with  a  friend.  The 
campus  grounds  become  alive  with 
energy  and  motion.  The  good  weather  just  draws 
people  out  of  their  rooms  into  the  fresh  air.  That  time 
of  year  is  always  a  favorite  time  for  Livingston  stu- 
dents. All  that  beautiul  weather  signifies  that  summer 
is  just  around  the  corner,  which  means  no  more 
studying! 


Rain  won't  keep  these  stu- 
dents from  going  to  class.  Ei- 
ther they  are  really  dedicat- 
ed or  their  professors  are  the 
best.

Livingston  Student  Center. 
Maintenance  worked 
around  the  clock  to  keep  the 
paths  clear. 


Fall  brings  with  it  some- 
what lower  temperatures, 
but  beautiful  views  of  the 
changing  leaves.

ALL 
BUT  A 
MEMORY 


n 


uL 


Everyone  from  your  old  room- 
mate to  the  guy  or  girl  in  the 
room  above  you  can  affect  your 
entire  year.  Whether  your  neigh- 
bors were  your  closest  friends  or 
your  worst  nightmare,  each  ex- 
perience was  memorable  in  its 
own  way.  Do  you  remember  late 
night  talks  in  the  lounge?  Or  per- 
haps the  dorm  parties  that  got  a 
little  too  loud?  It  was  experiences 
such  as 
these 
that 
made 
the  dif- 
ficult 
times 
more 
bear- 
able. 
The 
stress 
of  ex- 
ams 
took  its 
toll  on 
every- 
one at 
Rutgers 
and  it 
helped 
to  have 
that 

shoulder  to  cry  on  just  a  few  feet 
away.  The  residence  halls  on  Liv- 
ingston left  us  with  a  community, 
a  common  bond  we  all  shared. 

Anyone  who  lived  in  the 
Quads  learned  two  things  to 
make  life  easier.  The  first  lesson 
was  to  wait  at  the  Student  Center 
if  you  wanted  a  seat  on  the  bus. 
The  second  lesson  was  that  quar- 


ters become  valuable  if  you  need 
to  do  laundry.  Those  who  have 
resided  in  the  Towers  learned 
how  to  sneak  guests  past  security 
(at  night)  and  how  to  jam  the  el- 
evators. 

Whether  you  lived  in  the  Tow- 
ers or  the  Quads  certain  things 
were  similar.  We  got  to  know  the 
people  who  lived  near  us  and  we 
established  our  own  community. 

We  went 
to  dinner 
with 
them,  we 
hung  out 
with  them 
and  we 
studied 
for  exams 
with 
them. 
Some  res- 
i  d  e  n  t  s 
even 
played 
pratical 
jokes  on 
each  oth- 
er and 
they 
formed 
intramu- 
ral teams 

with  their  fellow  floors/houses. 
The  residence  life  at  Rutgers 
played  a  part  of  who  we  are  today 
ana  who  we  will  be  tomorrow.  So 
when  you  are  out  there  in  the 
real  world  and  you  are  feeling 
alone,  just  remember  your  days 
in  the  dorms  and  that  will  surely 
bring  a  smile  to  your  face. 


Studying  in 
the  lounges 
is  an 
excellent 
way  to 
combine 
work  and 
socializing.

Residence  Life 


A  Fact  of 
Life  In 
College 


.Roommate 


The  first  thing  most  stu- 
dents must  adjust  to  in  col- 
lege is  dorm  life.  For  most  of 
us,  living  in  a  building  with 
so  many  other  people  is  a 
new  experience.  It  may  be 
rather  frightening  and  over- 
whelming. Even  though  you 
are  with  so  many  people, 
somehow  you  still  feel  all 
alone.  But  not  for  long.  The 


people  on  your  floor  and  in 
your  building  soon  become 
your  friends. 

Anticipating  meeting 
your  roommate  is  what  oc- 
cupies the  minds  of  first 
year  students  as  they  con- 
template coming  to  college 
for  the  first  time.  You  move 
in  August  and  start  learning 
about  "the  roommate."  You 


learn  when  they  like  to 
sleep,  eat  and  study.  They 
can  be  helpful  with  advice 
and  someone  to  go  with  to 
Tillet  or  parties.  This  room- 
mate will  soon  become  your 
best  friend  or  your  worst  en- 
emy. Which  ever  the  case 
you  will  have  grown  from 
the  experience.

Parents  usually  help  with  the 
moving  in  process.  Oftentimes  it  is 
necessary  to  use  their  expertise  in 
organizing  your  belongings.

R.A.'s  Are 
Always 
Kept  Busy 


.Resident  Adviser! 


Resident  Advisors  have 
many  duties.  One  of  them  is 
to  keep  the  residence  halls 
secure.  From  8-12am  R.A.'s 
roam  the  halls  checking  to 
make  sure  that  everything 
runs  smoothly.  They  also 
hold  the  keys  to  everyone's 
rooms  just  in  case  you  get 
locked  out. 

Another  duty  is  to  run 


programs  for  their  residents. 
These  programs  can  include 
faculty  and  must  fall  into 
the  catagories  of  social,  ed- 
ucational and  cultural.  Res- 
ident Advisors  run  pro- 
grams like  movie  night, 
"Choosing  a  Major,"  and 
Latin  Heritage  Night.  These 
programs  entertain  as  well 
as  educate. 


To  be  chosen  to  be  a  Res- 
ident Advisor,  perspectives 
have  to  go  through  a  long  six 
week  interview  process. 
This  process  is  rigorous  and 
students  fall  out.  The  ones 
that  remain  are  the  best  of 
the  best.  Once  they  are  se- 
lected, their  extensive  train- 
ing can  begin. 


Residents  took  some  time  off  at 
camp  to  lounge  with  their  advisor. 
It  is  important  for  them  to  bond  as 
a  group.

Training  Can 
Sometimes  Be 
Tough 


.SLA,  T 


Training  is  a  permanent 
fixture  in  the  development 
of  a  Residence  Life  staff. 
Resident  Advisors  start  out 
the  year  early  at  camp. 
There  they  learn  all  the  es- 
sential skills  needed  to  be  a 
Resident  Advisor.  They  par- 
ticipate in  workshops  and 
training  exercises.  This 
training  helps  them  deal 
with  the  many  issues  that 


may  later  arise  on  their 
floors. 

All  the  exercises  are 
hands-on.  This  past  year  the 
Resident  Advisors  used  a 
theme  song  of  "Waterfalls" 
by  TLC  to  learn  about  is- 
sues. They  also  performed 
many  skits  and  role  plays.  It 
is  a  fun  way  to  learn  some 
very  serious  concepts.  It  is 
also  a  way  to  get  closer  to 


the  other  R.A's. 

If  they  are  ever  in  doubt 
about  what  to  do  there  are 
many  advisors  around  to 
help  them.  Some  advisors 
are  graduate  students  who 
are  close  in  age  to  the  stu- 
dents. They  are  a  constant 
source  of  information  and 
support.

members  participate  in 
leadership  training  before 
the  fall  semester.  They  also 
run  their  own  training  ses- 
sion before  the  spring  se- 
mester. 

They  learn  the  skills  that 
will  enable  them  to  create 
interesting  programs.  They 
plan  programs  that  are  ei- 
ther social,  cultural  or  ed- 


ucational. An  important  as- 
pect of  training  is  learning 
how  to  advertise.  With  good 
advertising  skills,  more  peo- 
ple are  likely  to  attend  the 
program,  which  makes  it 
more  enjoyable. 

The  speakers  at  training 
talk  about  how  to  motivate 
oneself.  Once  that  is  accom- 
plished it  is  easier  to  recruit 
new  memebers.  With  these 


new  members  come  fresh 
ideas. 

Residence  Hall  Council 
members  also  like  to  discuss 
ways  to  improve  Livingston 
College.  They  discuss  ways 
to  get  more  politically  in- 
volved in  their  campus  and 
plan  actiivities  that  will 
unite  the  college.

You  Can  Learn

Program 


The  Residence  Hall  Coun- 
cil is  an  organization  that 
puts  on  programs  within  the 
Residence  Hall.  They  pres- 
ent programs  that  are  either 
social,  cultural  or  educa- 
tional. This  year  the  Resi- 
dence Hall  Council  ran  pro- 
grams on  Assertiveness 
Training,  Self-Defense,  a 
Superbowl  Party,  Monday 


Night  Football  and  Indian 
Culture  Night. 

Taking  a  part  in  the  plan- 
ning of  the  programs  gives 
students  experience  in  lead- 
ership roles.  It  also  provides 
an  outlet  for  students  to 
meet  people  and  to  make 
friends.  Students  learn 
skills  in  marketing  and  com- 
munication by  making  fly- 


ers to  advertise  their  events. 

After  the  programs  are 
over  students  evaluate  the 
overall  effectiveness  of  the 
program.  This  helps  with 
the  planning  of  future 
events.  A  succesful  program 
will  likely  be  held  again.  An 
unsuccessful  one  will  be 
redesigned.

Party 

The  Residence  Hall  is  not 
just  a  place  to  study  or  sleep. 
Many  students  find  time  to 
play  sega,  order  pizza  or 
chat  with  their  floormates.  It 
gives  students  a  chance  to 
get  to  know  others  on  their 
floor  and  in  their  hall.  By 
staying  up  late  and  talking, 
students  form  a  bond  and 
your  floormates  become

InD 


your  family. 

Besides  staying  in,  some 
students  also  venture  out  to 
College  Ave  on  the  week- 
ends. There  they  can  go  to 
clubs,  fraternities,  coffee- 
houses and  bars.  Who  better 
to  do  these  activities  with 
than  the  friends  you've 
made  on  your  floor. 

When  students  are  on 


their  own  they  can  do  many 
things  that  they  wouldn't  do 
at  home.  The  activities  that 
students  choose  to  partici- 
pate in  are  vast  and  varied. 
In  the  end,  all  the  important 
stuff  seems  to  get  done  in 
between  90210  and  Knicks

learn  to  manage  their  time. 


A  Necessary  Evil

Sooner  or  later,  students 
who  live  in  the  dorms  have 
to  face  the  music  and  realize 
they  have  to  do  their  laun- 
dry. Mom  isn't  here  to  wash 
your  clothes  for  you  any- 
more. You  can,  of  course, 
lug  it  all  home,  but  it's  just 
easier  doing  it  here.  De- 
pending on  where  you  live, 
the  Quads  of  the  Towers, 


©img  Lauinary 


there  are  two  ways  of  doing 
your  laundry.  Those  in  the 
Towers  are  issued  laundry 
cards.  How  many  times 
have  your  friends  and 
neighbors  come  knocking 
on  your  door  to  borrow  your 
laundry  card?  In  the  Quads, 
the  machines  only  take 
change.  Although  this  is  a 
hassle  for  some,  others  have 


found  a  way  to  do  all  their 
laundry  with  only  two  quar- 
ters. All  you  need  is  a  pair  of 
pantyhose  and  bingo  —  you 
can  do  all  your  laundry  for 
free. 

Lengthening  the  time  in 
between  loads  of  laundry  is 
an  acquired  talent.  But,  no 
matter  what  you  do,  laundry 
is  just  unavoidable. 


Doing  laundry  is  one  of  those 
things  that  students  put  off  to  the 
last  minute.

Students  At 
Busch 


Nicliols  Apartment 


Nichols  are  apartments  on 
Busch  campus.  They  are  of- 
fered to  Livingston  College 
juniors  and  seniors  in  a  lot- 
tery done  in  the  Spring.  The 
apartments  consist  of  two 
bedrooms,  a  livingroom  and 
a  kitchen.  Four  students  oc- 
cupy the  living  space.  There 
are  two  Resident  Advisors 
in  the  building. 


Students  choose  this 
apartment  style  living  to  get 
away  from  the  hectic  life  of 
living  in  a  dorm.  This 
creates  a  more  peaceful  at- 
mosphere in  which  upper- 
classmen  have  a  better  op- 
portunity to  study.  They 
also  have  the  option  of  not 
having  a  meal  plan  and 
cooking  their  own  meals. 


Less  food  is  wasted  this  way 
and  students  have  a  better 
knowledge  of  what  is  in 
their  food. 

There  is  more  room  in 
students'  apartments  to  con- 
gregate and  have  parties, 
plus  most  people  are  over 
twenty-one.  And  another 
bonus  is  that  the  R.A. 
doesn't  live  so  close  by.

Many  students  at  Living-

off  campus  after  their  fresh- 
man year.  They  often  live  in 
houses  off  the  College  Av- 
enue campus.  Students 
spend  time  Spring  Semester 
searching  the  Targum  for  a 
close  to  campus  apartment 
with  low  rent.  Sometimes 
they  may  even  search  for

A  big  advantage  over  the 
dorms  is  that  parties  are  al- 
ways allowed.  The  object  is 
to  keep  the  noise  down  low 
enough  so  that  the  RU  po- 
lice don't  come  knocking.

Residence  Life 


Rutgers  by 
Car 


Since  many  students  live 
so  close  to  Rutgers,  they 
chose  not  to  move  into  the 
dorms  and  prefer  to  live  at 
home  while  going  to  school. 

Commuters  are  forced  to 
park  their  cars  at  Livingston 
and  take  the  buses  to  all 
their  classes.  There  is  a  lot 
of  time  between  classes 
where  students  take  time  to 


nap,  go  the  library,  student 
center  or  computer  lab.  Dur- 
ing this  time  students  can  do 
their  homework  so  that  it  is 
done  before  they  get  home. 
Some  commuters  must  also 
squeeze  in  work  between 
their  classes  and  other  re- 
sponsibilities. 

By  being  a  commuter  one 
avoids  having  to  have  a 


roommate.  You  also  can 
have  a  home  cooked  meal 
every  night.  You  can  also 
avoid  having  to  to  do  your 
laundry  if  you  are  clever 
enough  to  talk  your  parents 
into  doing  it.  By  being  a 
commuter  you  never  have 
to  lug  all  your  stuff  to  and 
from  your  dorm  room  for 
summer  and  winter  break. 


Students  build  relationships  in  the 
commuter  club.  It  is  a  great  place 
to  meet  people  that  are  in  the 
same  position  as  yourself.

ALL 
BUT  A 
MEMORY 


How  many  times  did  you  sleep 
when  you  were  supposed  to  be  in 
class  or  have  you  ever  slept  dur- 
ing your  class?  Every  student  at 
Rutgers  has  had  a  similar  expe- 
rience with  this.  Academics  is 
one  link  we  had  in  common  with 
each  other.  Livingston  students 
take  classes  with  students  from 
other  campuses.  Some  of  us 
stressed  over  midterms  and  finals 
while 
others 
were 
tense 
about 
papers 
and 
proj- 
ects. 
The 
goal 
was 
still  the 
same  - 
to  pass 
our 
classes 
and  to 
gradu- 
ate! 

A  s 
stu- 
dents, 

one  of  our  worst  fears  was  to 
sleep  through  an  exam.  It  was  a 
situation  no  one  wanted  to  be  in, 
yet  you  may  have  known  of  one 
or  two  people  who  saw  their  fears 
come  true. 

Professors  tend  to  cover  a  large 
amount  of  material  in  such  a 
short  amount  of  time.  As  a  result 


exam  anxiety  attacked  even  the 
most  conscientious  students. 

On  a  lighter  note,  remember 
those  classes  you  took  just  for 
credit?  Almost  every  student  at 
some  point  took  Theater  Appre- 
ciation with  their  friends.  Others 
may  have  opted  for  Insects  and 
Man  (now  known  as  The  World 
of  Insects).  Lovingly  called  Bugs 
and  Dudes  by  students  every- 
where, it

was  the 
one  class 
where  the 
goal  was 
just  to 
pass.  All 
Living- 
ston stu- 
dents had 
to  fill 
those 
A  D  R  '  s 
and  it  was 
classes 
such  as 
these  that 
made  this 
tedious 
task  more 
enjoyable. 

After 
four,  or 

more,  years  of  taking  classes,  you 
finally  managed  to  figure  out  the 
best  strategy  to  add  and  drop 
them.  When  you  finished  your 
last  year,  you  thoroughly  ex- 
hausted the  Academics  at 
Rutgers  and  you  have  your  Bach- 
elor of  Arts  or  Bachelor  of  Sci- 
ence degree(s)  to  prove  it.

Registration 


Gone  are  the  days  of  waiting  in 
line  to  meet  with  an  advisor  who 
makes  you  wait  hours  for  help 
with  your  schedule.  Rutgers  has 
moved  into  the  days  of  telephone 
registration,  where  there  may  be 
no  long  lines  to  stand  on,  but  a 
haunting  busy  signal  instead. 

6:25am  -  Your  alarm  sounds, 
waking  you  up.  You  hastily  turn  it 
off,  and  look  over  at  your 
roommate,  smiling  when  you 
realize  that  he  is  still  asleep. 
Silently,  you  sneak  over  the  other 
side  of  the  room  to  turn  off  his 
alarm  clock  so  that  you  can  easily 
end  a  battle  over  who  gets  to 
register  first.  You  pick  up  the 
phone,  convenienty  placed  near 
you,  and  dial  the  number,  growling 
as  you  receive  a  busy  signal;  the 
first  of  many.  After  trying  to  dial  in 
27  times,  you 
slam  down  the 
phone,  looking 
over  at  your 
roommate  as  he 
shifts  in  his 
sleep.  You  pick 
up  the  phone, 


HI 

vowing  (as  you  had  the  past  25 
times)  that  this  is  your  last  call. 
You  hear  a  click  on  the  other  end 
of  the  line,  and  expect  to  hear  an 
operator  tell  you  that  she  is  sorry 
but  "all  circuits  are  busy  now. 
Please  try  back  again  later." 
Instead,  you  hear  "Welcome  to 
Rutgers,  the  State  University  of 
New  Jersey's  telephone  registration 
system  ..."  Finally,  you  can 
register!  You  put  in  the  index 
number  for  the  Math  class  you  had 
wanted  and  get  it.  The  next  class, 
Sociology,  is  closed  (with  no  other 
open  sections,  the  system  tells 
you),  so  you  decide  to  wait  for  a 
special  permission  number.  You 
register  for  the  other  classes 
without  incident  and  silently 
cheer.  Your  classes  for  the  next 
semester  are  scheduled  .  .  .  now  all 
you  have  to  do  is 
figure  out  a  way 
to  make  your 
roommate 
believe  that  he 
never  set  his 
alarm  clock  last 
night! 


Every  semester  each 
student  goes  through 

the  tedious 
process  of  registering.

Buying  Books 


Buying  your  books  seems  like 
such  a  simple  task,  but  under  the 
innocent  facade  of  the  seemingly 
easy  job  lies  the  long  hours  of 
finding  the  books  you  need  for 
each  individual  course  in  the 
many  different  Rutgers  bookstores 
and  waiting  in  long  lines  for 
hours  on  end  only  to  add  a  few 
hundred  dollars  onto  your  credit 
card!  Then  once  you  get  home, 
you  realize  that  you  forgot  to  get 
the  necessary  copies  your 
professor  has  ordered  from 
Pequod  Copies  which  adds 
another  15  to  20  dollars  onto  your 
book  buying  bill.  And  then,  on 
the  second  day  of  classes,  the 
professor  hands  out  a  syllabus 
with  an  additional  two  books 
listed  for  you  to  purchase  because 
they  are  "absolutely  vital"  to  the 
course  you  are 
enrolled  in! 
Luckily,  some  of 
these  books  can 
be  bought  used, 
which  lowers 
the  prices.  And 
if  you  are  even 
more  fortunate, 


you  might  just  find  someone  who 
took  the  class  last  semester  who  is 
willing  to  sell  their  book  to  you 
for  lower  than  the  bookstores' 
price!  Someone  down  the  hall 
from  you  in  the  dorms  may  have 
taken  your  English  347  class  and 
will  sell  ALL  the  books  to  you  for 
45  dollars,  while  the  bookstores 
would  have  sold  them  to  you  for 
no  less  than  ...  70  dollars!  Maybe 
your  roommate  took  Computer 
Science  110  a  year  ago  and  still 
has  the  books.  After  you  make 
sure  that  these  are  the  same  book 
versions  as  the  ones  you  need, 
you  buy  them  from  her  for  30 
dollars,  saving  an  extra  25  dollars. 
By  the  time  you  are  done  with 
finding  books  in  your  dorm,  you 
may  have  saved  yourself  over  100 
dollars!  Not  bad,  right?  If  you  can 
buy  all  of  your 
books  for  cheap 
prices,  maybe 
you  can  sell 
them  back  to  the 
bookstores  at  a 
profit  later! 


Types  of  payment  vary 
in  bookstores  from  cash, 
to  credit,  to  checks.

At  9:45am,  your  alarm  clock 
rings  and  you  snarl  at  it  in  a  daze. 
It  does  not  cease  ringing,  so  you 
hurl  it  to  the  floor  in  an  attempt 
to  quiet  it,  which  still  does  not 
work.  Glaring  at  it  through  sleep 
filled  eyes,  you  get  up  out  of  bed 
and  turn  it  off,  thankful  to  finally 
have  it  stopped.  You  stretch  out 
for  a  bit  and  then  look  at  the 
clock  in  disbelief,  realizing  that 
you  have  wasted  10  minutes  and 
now  have  5  minutes  left  to  hurry 
to  class.  You  quickly  throw  on 
jeans,  a  sweatshirt,  sneakers  and 
a  Rutgers  hat,  realizing  that  you 
will  not  have  time  to  shower 
before  class  this  morning.  You 
grab  your  books  and  race  out  the 
door,  making  a  face  at  your 
roommate,  who  is  still  sleeping 
since  she  does  not  have  class  until 
1:10.  You  do  not 
even  want  to 
think  about  the 
unfortunate 
souls  who  have 
class  at  8:10am! 
(Why  do  people 
schedule  classes 
that  early, 


anyway?!) 

You  get  to  class  a  few  minutes 
late,  and  the  teacher  stops  his 
lecture  to  watch  as  you  tumble 
your  way  to  the  only  unoccupied 
seat  in  the  room,  right  in  front  of 
the  center  row! 

When  the  professor  resumes 
teaching,  you  look  around  the 
room  for  your  friends,  and  realize 
they  must  have  slept  in  since  you 
can  not  seem  to  find  them  in  your 
40  person  class.  On  your  search, 
you  see  a  cute  guy  near  you  that 
just  might  make  this  class  a  bit 
more  interesting.  You  smile  at 
him  and  feel  lightheaded  as  he 
smiles  back.  However,  you  get 
jarred  back  to  the  reality  of  class 
when  the  professor  reminds  the 
class  of  the  ten  page  paper  due 
next  time.  Paper?!  You  mentally 
slap  yourself  as 
you  realize  that 
this  means 
spending  hours 
in  the  library 
tonight  instead 
of  following  up 
on  your  most 
recent  crush!

Studying 


Studying?  What  is  that?!  A  lot 
of  people  try  to  forget  about  it  by 
going  out  to  parties  and  spending 
the  remaining  time  sleeping. 
Before  we  know  it,  the  night 
before  a  crucial  exam  is  upon  us 
and  we  are  forced  to  . .  .  (*gulp*) 
study!  Rushing  to  study  rooms  in 
the  Towers  or  Quads  and  to  the 
Yorba  Lounge  or  Kilmer  Library, 
you  search  among  the  hordes  of 
last  minute  crammers  -  who  seem 
to  have  come  out  of  the 
woodwork  -  for  just  one  more 
open  seat  that  you  can  sit  in 
while  you  study  in  the  quiet 
atmosphere.  (Well,  quieter  than 
your  dorm  room  where  your 
roommate  thinks  she  is  the  next 
opera  star!)  For  the  next  six 
hours,  you  sit  in  silence  at  a  table 
with  five  other  students  who  are 
also  studying  for 
an  upcoming 
exam. 

Back  in  your 
dorm,  your 
neighbor  covers 
her  ears  to  block 
out  your 


roommate's  attempt  at  opera 
singing  that  travels  through  the 
walls.  She  mentally  pats  herself 
on  the  back  for  having  studied  all 
semester  for  her  courses,  and  puts 
off  reviewing  her  typed  notes 
until  later,  when  the  opera  diva 
ends  her  practice.  Instead,  she 
puts  on  her  TV  and  watches  her 
favorite  sitcom,  making  sure  the 
volume  drowns  out  all  other 
noise.  She  can  relax,  knowing 
that  her  earlier  studies  will  pay 
off. 

No  matter  what  style  of  study 
you  choose,  it  eventually  has  to 
get  done.  Each  student  has  a 
different  technique  . . .  working 
with  flashcards  each  week, 
studying  outside  in  the  warm  sun, 
or  just  waiting  until  they  can  wait 
no  longer!  But  no  matter  when  it 
gets  done, 
studying  is  a 
part  of  college 
life  that  we  just 
cannot  get  by 
without ...  no 
matter  how  hard 
we  try! 


Studying  on  your  bed 
often  causes  drowsiness, 
and  before  you  know  it, 
you  are  asleep.

The  Library 


Kilmer  Library  ...  it  is  the 
second  home  to  many  who  enjoy 
studying  in  its  quiet  embrace,  as 
well  as  an  intimidating  maze  for 
those  students  unfamiliar  with  its 
rows  filled  with  magazines  and 
books.  Each  of  us  can  probably 
now  find  our  way  through  the 
magazines,  references,  and 
recreational  reading  areas,  but  can 
you  say  the  same  about  the 
downstairs  media  rooms?  Teachers 
remark  about  the  downstairs  being 
a  "dungeon,"  and  those  who  have 
travelled  to  the  media  rooms  and 
classrooms  in  the  depths  of  the 
library  would  probably  agree! 
Hidden  from  the  upper  levels, 
these  rooms  are  not  easy  to  find, 
especially  when  trying  to  find 
them  five  minutes  before  your 
class  begins!  These  downstairs 
rooms  contain 
the  Media 
Services  section, 
where  students 
can  go  into  rooms 
to  view  videos  at 
their  leisure 
either  for  a  class 
assignment  or 


just  for  fun.  At  times  the  larger 
rooms  are  reserved  for  library 
orientation  or  by  a  professor  who 
wants  to  show  an  in-class  video. 

Throughout  our  careers  as 
students,  we  have  become  better 
and  better  at  using  the  library 
facilities.  At  first,  we  struggled  to 
learn  IRIS,  since  many  of  us  had 
used  the  old  cardfiles  to  find  books 
back  in  high  school.  Now,  many 
upperclassmen  are  not  only 
experienced  with  IRIS,  but  other 
on-line  refereces  like  Paperchase 
as  well!  As  students,  we  use  the 
library  as  a  quiet  place  to  study  or 
a  place  to  research  for  papers.  With 
the  amount  of  books  in  the  Kilmer 
Library,  you  are  almost  guaranteed 
to  find  something  on  the  subject 
you  are  looking  for.  And  if  you 
cannot,  an  interlibrary  loan  from 
Newark, 
Camden,  or  one 
of  the  other  New 
Brunswick 
campuses  will 
put  the  book  you 
are  looking  for 
into  your  grasp. 


Workers  at  the  reference 
desk  help  you  find  the 
books  you  are  looking 
for.

Computer  Lab 


From  CS110  to  Sociology  101,  at 
one  time  or  another  you  are  bound 
to  make  a  stop  at  the  Livingston 
Computing  Center.  Clarisworks 
and  Microsoft  Word  become  your 
best  friends  . . .  while  the  evil 
computer  that  crashes  becomes 
your  worst  enemy  that  you  have 
chronic  nightmares  about  after 
losing  your  25  page  paper! 

One  of  the  most  popular  reasons 
to  visit  the  computer  lab  (besides 
having  to  do  a  paper!)  is  email. 
With  email,  you  can  write  to  long 
lost  friends  at  a  college  across  the 
country,  mail  your  cousin  who 
lives  in  Europe,  or  just  send  a  note 
home  to  mom  and  dad  saying  "hi!" 
(and  asking  for  more  money!)  If 
you  really  like  to  get  email,  you 
can  subscribe  to  numerous  mailing 
lists  that  will  send  you  information 
or  humorous 
items.  If  you  are 
really  in  an 
email-ish  mood, 
you  can  send 
your  floormates 
little  messages 


wishing  them  luck  on  exams  or 
reminding  them  to  meet  you  for 
dinner  later  in  the  day! 

Of  course,  most  students  use  the 
lab  facilities  to  print  out  papers  or 
work  on  projects  for  class.  It  is  not 
uncommon  to  see  the  lab  filled  to 
capacity  at  2am  as  students  fix  the 
papers  they  are  to  hand  in  the  next 
morning,  while  others  scramble  to 
perfect  their  programming 
assignment  that  has  been  giving 
them  trouble. 

Helpful  computer  consultants 
are  always  on  duty  to  answer  any 
questions  that  you  may  have  while 
working  in  the  computer  lab.  If 
they  are  unable  to  do  so,  they 
will  inform  you  of  someone  to  talk 
to. 

Even  though  you  may  have  been 
nervous  about  computers  at  first,  it 
is  nearly 
impossible  to 
totally  escape 
from  using  one  a 
few  times  during 
your  college 
years.

The  LRC  and 
Langauge  Lab 


Both  the  LRC  and  Language  Lab 
are  academic  places  where  you 
can  get  help  in  different  courses. 
At  the  LRC,  tutors  are  available 
for  either  groups  or  individuals 
who  request  help  in  classes  like 
Chemistry,  Calculus,  or  Computer 
Science.  The  tutors  are  there  to 
help  you  understand  how  to  do 
your  assignments  and  to  get  a 
better  feel  for  the  subject  in 
general.  Computers  are  also 
available  at  the  LRC  to  take 
practice  tests  on  if  students  wish. 

Through  the  year,  there  are 
help  sessions  available  on  subjects 
like  Time  Management  and 
Taking  Notes.  Many  students  use 
them  in  order  to  improve  their 
study  skills  and  therefore  raise 
their  G.P.A. 

The  language 
lab  is  useful  to 
those  students 
who  take 
courses  in 
foreign 
languages. 


Classes  like  Spanish  use  the  lab  to 
do  their  audio  assignments  as 
well  as  watch  their  video 
assignments.  Students  sign  in 
before  using  the  lab,  and  teachers 
are  notified  of  which  students 
were  there  to  do  their  work. 

The  P.A.L.S.  program  also  uses 
the  language  lab  for  their  classes. 
Each  week,  a  class  of  about  20 
students  goes  to  the  lab  to 
improve  their  English  speaking 
skills  with  the  help  of  a  teacher 
who  sits  at  the  console  in  front 
and  monitors  the  class.  Those  not 
in  the  P.A.L.S.  program  can 
receive  help  from  the  lab 
attendant  who  speaks  their 
language  of  study.  Each  language 
is  represented  by  an  attendant  at 
different  times  during  the  week. 

Between  the 
LRC  and  the 
language  lab, 
most  University 
courses  are 
available  for 
extra  help. 


Students  use  the 
language  lab  to  do 
work  for  foreign 
language  classes.

A  V 


At  some  point  each  of  us  have 
been  connected  to  a  club  or  or- 
ganization. They  have  played  a 
huge  part  in  all  of  our  lives.  From 
sports  organizations  to  academic 
associations,  students  at  Rutgers 
have  benefitted  tremendously  from 
the  community  they  have  created. 
Some  of  our  finest  accomplish- 
ments have  not  only  stemmed  from 
t  h  e 
class- 
room, 
b  u  t 
from 
our  ex- 
tracur- 
ricular 
activi- 
ties. 
Living- 
ston, in 
particu- 
lar, has 
a  num- 
ber of 
organ- 
ized 
groups 
which 
provide 
for  a 

better  campus  community.  One  of 
these  groups  is  the  Livingston  Pro- 
gram Board.  Another  example  of  a 
group  is  Volleyball  Intramurals. 
These  groups  differ  in  their  con- 
tent, but  both  do  so  much  to  en- 
hance college  life.  There  are  many 
others  which  accomplish  the  same. 

The  Livingston  Program  Board 
presents  popular  campus  events 


such  as  movie  nights.  Livingston's 
Own  Concert  Organization  is  an- 
other prominent  Livingston  activ- 
ity. LOCO  gives  Livingston  the  in- 
side scoop  on  the  newest  talent  in 
the  music  industry.  Groups  such  as 
Volleyball  or  Football  Intramurals 
cater  to  those  students  who  have 
that  competitive  edge.  Generally 
speaking,  organizations  at  Rutgers 
are  de- 
signed to- 
ward stu- 
dents; 
meetings 
are  de- 
signed to 
fit  around 
a  busy 
schedule. 
These 
clubs  at- 
tempt to 
bring  to- 
gether stu- 
dents from 
every  resi- 
dence hall 
and  off 
campus 
apart- 
ment. 

Remember  how  you  felt  when 
your  floor  won  that  tough  volley- 
ball game?  Maybe  you  can  recall 
that  LOCO  concert  which  made 
others  jealous  because  the  same 
band  didn't  go  to  their  school.  Liv- 
ingston is  the  place  that  brought  to 
you  such  activities;  it  was  your  par- 
ticipation in  them  that  made  them 
memorable.

Brothers  and  sisters  are 
always  there  for  emotional 
support  through  the  stresses 
of  college  life.  They  help  each 
other  through  the  rough 
times  and  are  around  to  share 
in  the  happy  moments.  They 
take  particular  pride  in  their 
Chapter  by  honoring  each 
other  and  their  traditions. 

An  added  advantage  to 
belonging  to  a  Greek 
organization  is  when  job 
hunting  comes  around.  The 
Greek  alumni  are  always 
right  there  for  assistance.

very  appropriate 
for  this 
organization  that  deals  with 
educating  potential  students 
about  Livingston  College.  The 
main  responsibility  of  the 
members  of  LINK  is  to  be 
tour  guides  for  the  college.  It 
is  through  these  tours  that 
parents  as  well  as  their 
children  learn  about  all  the 
perks  of  being  a  Livingston 
College  student.  Tour  guides 
point  out  every  aspect  of 


college  life  as  well  as  toss  in  a 
few  personal  stories  just  to 
make  the  tour  more 
interesting.  So  what's  the 
number  one  thing  people 
want  to  see?  The  Dorms  of 
course!  It  is  the  one  aspect 
everyone  has  questions 
about.  Tour  guides 
enthusiastically  describe 
living  there,  not  to  mention  a 
few  horror  stories  to  give 
everyone  a  good  idea  about 
them.  Since  tour  guides  are 
volunteers,  they  do  it  out  of 
pure  pleasure  and  fun.

who  are  chosen.  This 
organization  identifies  what 
is  needed  to  be  a  successful 
leader  and  encourages  its 
members  to  help  others 
become  leaders  as  well.  Skills 
such  as  becoming  a  good

was  used  to  show  this. 

Through  this  program, 
members  are  paired  with 
various  mentors  to  give  them 
the  chance  to  utilize  their 
skills.  Such  programs  include 
working  on  various 
commitees  as  co-chairs.  The 
members  of  LEAP  also  plan 
activities  for  Welcome  Week 
for  incoming  first  year

All  in  all,  this  is  a  very 
successful  and  enriching 
program.

students  eagerly  await  the

copies  of  it  at  Tillett  and  the

This  organization  provides

that  can  be  put  to  good  use  if 
that  is  the  career  you  choose. 

The  Medium  has  its  own

programs  made  you  laugh 
throughout  the  year.  All  the 
hard  work  that  LPB  does  is 
evident  in  the  quality  of  the 
programs  they  provide. 

The  main  focus  of  the 
Spring  semester,  as  always 
was  Springfest.  Months  of 
preparation  resulted 
successfully  even  though  the 
threat  of  rain  moved 
everyone  into  the  the 
Livingston  Gym.  This  year 
LPB  joined  in  the  festivities 
by  promoting  Carrot  Top,  a 
comedian  who  performed  at 
Livingston. 


"Being  apart  of 
LPB  is  a  lot  of 
hard  work,  but 
every  minute  is 
worth  it  because 
of  the  people 
and  also  because 
of  all  the  fun  we

that  creates  a  festive

didn't  dampen  the  mood  for 
one  second!  Thousands  of 
people  showed  up  to  visit  the

the  same  time  a  fun 
experience.  A  stage,  sound 
system,  and  lights  need  to  be 
set  up,  as  well  as  a  hospitality 
room  prepared  for  the 
performers.  About  5  hours 
later,  everything  was  ready. 

Seven  bands  played  this 
year.  Bands  were  chosen  by

showcase  of  a  few  popular 
genres  of  music.  Also,  two 
local  bands  were  chosen  at  a 
battle  of  the  bands  held  two 
weeks  prior  to  Springfest. 
This  year's  line  up  consisted 
of  Setting  Soul,  The 
Studbakers,  Spazitokolon, 
Plow  United,  and  Let's  Go

students  who  excelled  in 
their  jobs  were  also  awarded

from  completing  a  project,

the  complete  work  brings  a 
sense  of  pride  and  happiness. 


This  is  what  it  means  to  be  a 
part  of  an  organization  and 
this  is  why  it  is  so  important 
for  everyone. 

Organizations  helped  you 
learn  how  to  work  together 
with  a  group  of  people  that 
you  may  not  know.  However, 
the  group  you  belonged  to 
soon  became  your  good 
friends.  Organizations  also 
helped  you  get  away  from 
studying  for  awhile.  Even 
though  they  may  have  put 
more  stress  into  your  life,  in 
the  end  it  was  all  worth  it.

ALL 
BUT  A 
MEMORY 


Your  Senior  year  is  now  over  and 
you've  made  it!  The  years  of  hard 
work  and  dedication  have  paid  off. 
As  you  look  back  upon  the  years 
you  see  the  smiling  faces  of  close 
friends,  long  hours  spent  in  the  li- 
brary, and  good  times  —  memories 
to  last  a  lifetime.  College  will  al- 
ways be  an  important  part  of  your 
life  even  long  after  you've  moved 
on.  Here  at  Livingston  is  where  it 

all  be-   

g  a  n  . 
This  is 
where 
your 
dreams 
for  the 
future 
were 
formed. 
This  is 
where 
the  ba- 
sis for 
your 
career 
was 
laid. 
And 
this  is 
where 
your 
hopes 

have  become  reality.  Now  you  hold 
the  key  to  your  future.  With  this 
important  certificate,  you  can  go  on 
to  graduate  school  or  get  a  job. 
Whatever  you  decide,  one  thing  is 
true,  by  working  hard  at  Living- 
ston, YOU  made  it  happen. 


Throughout  your  last  year  here 
at  Livingston  College,  making  def- 
inite plans  for  the  rest  of  your  life 
began  as  early  as  September.  Sen- 
ior year  was  spent  going  to  job  fairs, 
filling  out  applications,  and  doing 
interviews,  not  to  mention  study- 
ing for  exams.  The  nervous  feelings 
you  had  when  you  walked  into  that 
first  interview  are  now  just  distant 
memories.  But  the  feelings  of  ex- 
citement 
and  joy  of 
finding 
out  you 
got  the  job 
you  want- 
ed or  got 
into  your 
number 
one  choice 
of  grad 
schools 
still  lin- 
gers on. 
Pomp  and 
Circum- 
stance has 
played 
and 
you've  re- 
c  e  i  v  e  d 
your  di- 
ploma in 

front  of  all  your  friends  and  family. 
You're  now  ready  to  go  on.  With 
the  memory  of  the  years  spent  at 
Livingston  held  close  to  your  heart, 
you  move  into  the  future  and  make 
your  dreams  come  true.

Dean's  Awards 
Banquet 


Livingston  College  has  always  put  the 
individual  student  first.  You  wer- 
en't just  a  number  on  a  list  here. 
You  were  a  person.  The  Dean's  Awards 
Banquet  exemplified  this  very  point.  The 
Dean's  Awards  Banquet  honors  those 
who  have  90  degree  credits  and  have 
shown  committment,  service  to  Living- 
ston and  those  who  have  academically 
excelled.  These  students  gave  more  than 
was  expected  and  were  truly  dedicated  to 
the  college. 

The  first  set  of  awards  that  were  given 
were  to  those  who  were  designated  as 
Dean's  List  Scholars.  They  were  presented 


with  a  pin  depending  upon  the  number  of 
times  they  were  on  the  Dean's  List.  A 
silver  pin  was  given  for  four  semesters 
and  a  gold  for  six  semesters.  The  second 
set  of  awards  are  for  those  who  have  ex- 
celled in  a  special  academic  program  or  in 
service  to  the  college.  These  individuals 
were  nominated  by  Livingston  staff  and 
received  a  point  for  each  nomination. 

The  night  was  a  splendid  success.  It 
took  place  at  the  Hyatt  Regency  Hotel. 
This  was  the  last  night  before  graduation 
where  the  Seniors  got  a  chance  to  say 
goodbye  to  each  other  and  the  Livingston 
staff.  '

The  Livingston  Commence- 
ment Ceremony  was  held  on 
May  16,  1996  in  the  Rutgers  Ath- 
letic Center.  Soaked  from  being 
in  the  pouring  rain,  families  and 
friends  of  the  '96  graduates 
crowded  into  the  bleachers,  try- 
ing to  find  the  best  seat  to  see 
their  loved  ones. 

As  everyone  got  settled,  the 
class  of  '96  lined  up  according  to 
their  majors  and  adjusted  their 
cap  and  gowns  before  walking 
into  the  RAC  to  the  musical 
strains  of  "Pomp  and  Circum- 
stance." 

The  twenty-seventh  com- 
mencement convocation  began 
with  a  welcome  from  Dean  Ar- 
nold Hyndman,  followed  by  the 


presentation  of  the  Senior  class 
gift  by  the  class  president  Alexis 
Higgins.  The  class  speakers  Carin 
Tinney  and  Jason  A.  Gonslaves 
delivered  rousing  speeches  to 
their  class  about  how  they 
should  keep  Livingston  in  their 
hearts  as  they  go  into  the  future. 
The  Keynote  speaker  was  Tony 
Brown,  author  and  commenta- 
tor, who  also  inspired  the  gra- 
duates on  this  very  precious 
night.  After  the  presentation  of 
the  diplomas  by  Dean  Laura 
Bromley,  Reverend  Ronald  Van- 
der  Schaaf  gave  the  Benediction. 
The  graduates  picked  up  their 
real  diplomas  and  headed  back 
to  their  families  and  friends  for 
pictures  and  hugs.

REMEMBERING 


You  spent  many  hours 
studying  in  the  library 
just  like  this  student  is 
doing. 


Four  years  have  gone  by  and  now 
you  have  graduated  from  Livingston 
College.  Each  year  you  grew  and  ma- 
tured to  face  the  day  when  you  had 
to  go  out  into  the  REAL  world. 
Freshman  year  was  when  it  all  star- 
ted. That  year  you  entered  college  as 
timid  students,  eager  for  the  ex- 
periences awaiting  you,  but  a  little 
scared  of  what  was  to  come.  Every- 
thing was  new;  trying  to  get  around 
on  the  buses,  the  faces,  the  classes, 
and  even  a  new  place  to  live. 

Sophomore  year  you  were  more 
confident.  Things  were  now  familiar 
to  you.  You  were  no  longer  the  youn- 
gest. This  was  the  year  you  realized 
that  college  was  more  than  just  hav- 
ing fun.  This  was  the  year  you  start- 
ed thinking  seriously  about  your 
GPA.  By  the  time  junior  year  rolled 
around,  everything  was  a  piece  of 
cake.  That  year  was  filled  with  look- 
ing inward  and  discovering  what  you 
want  to  do  after  college. 

Senior  year  came  and  went  in  a 
blink  of  an  eye.  This  year  closed  the 
door  on  your  college  education.  Eve- 
rything you  learned  in  and  out  of 
class  will  now  be  applied  to  the  rest 
of  your  life.  You  are  now  ready  for 
the  REAL  world.

PRECIOUS 


Two  friends  talk  about 
the  class  they  just  had 
and  how  they  just 
adore  the  professor. 


Your  college  life  here  at  Livingston 
was  filled  with  many  precious  mo- 
ments that  you  will  never  forget. 
You  will  take  these  moments  with 
you  throughout  your  life  and  occas- 
sionally  look  back  and  smile  on 
them.  Remember  the  first  time  you 
said  "hi"  to  your  now  dearest 
friends?  The  first  time  you  went  to  a 
frat  party?  How  about  the  first 
Homecoming  game  you  went  to  and 
cheered  your  heart  out  for  Rutgers? 
The  countless  stories  you  have  about 
your  adventures  with  the  buses, 
those  extra  special  classes  the  profes- 
sors you  couldn't  stand  or  the  ones 
you  loved.  All  these  have  a  special 
place  in  your  heart.  Your  memorable 
yesterdays  will  help  you  create  a 
successful  tomorrow. 

You  leave  Livingston  College  now, 
but  you  take  with  you  all  the  special 
times  you  had  here.  Although  you 
can't  relive  these  happy  times  you 
will  always  cherish  the  memories 
that  you  have  created  here. 


Closing  173 


Whatever  the  future  may 
bring,  Livingston  College 
will  always  be  in  our 
hearts. 


Looking  through  books 
about  different  careers  is 
one  way  to  decide  about 
your  future. 

Good  friends  will  al- 
ways be  there  for  you, 
even  after  graduation. 

A  wave  goodbye  to 
friends,  family  and  to  Liv- 
ingston itself.  Hello  to  the 
future!

Walking  down  the 
road  of  life  at  this  point 
leads  you  away  from 
Livingston  and  to- 
wards your  future. 


LOOKING -TO 


The  future  holds  many  opportuni- 
ties for  you  as  a  graduate  of  Living- 
ston College.  Sometimes  there  are  so 
many  opportunites  it  is  hard  to 
choose  which  one  to  pursue.  Maybe 
the  right  decision  for  you  at  this 
point  in  your  life  is  graduate  school. 
Continuing  your  education  requires 
committment  and  dedication  for 
which  Livingston  prepared  you.  Per- 
haps, the  road  you  choose  leads  you 
to  a  job  and  career.  With  this  a  com- 
pletely new  way  of  life  will  start. 
Studying  will  be  replaced  by  work. 
You  will  now  be  completely  inde- 
pendent of  your  parents.  Along  with 
a  career  or  instead  of  one,  you  may 
choose  to  start  a  family  of  your  own. 
This  will  bring  on  new  responsibili- 
ties and  others  to  depend  on  you. 

Whatever  you  may  choose  to  do, 
one  thing  is  for  sure  graduating  from 
Livingston  started  the  process.  It  was 
at  Livingston  where  the  plans  for  the 
future  were  laid.  You  will  always 
look  back  to  Livingston,  Rutgers 
University  proudly.  May  the  best  of 
luck  be  with  you  in  every  decision 
you  make  and  may  all  your  dreams 
come  true.
